What is SEO Spider?

The Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a small desktop program which spiders websites'​ links, images, CSS, script and apps. It also fetches key onsite page elements for SEO, presents them in tabs by type and allows you to filter for common SEO issues, or slice & dice the data how you see fit by exporting/ importing into Excel. You can view, analyse and filter the information as it's gathered and updated continuously in the program's user interface.

What differentiates SEO Spider from other similar products?

Screaming Frog largely does what other crawlers can, but does it in a simple, accessible fashion. There are other features available in SEO Spider like the ability to crawl for looking for specific information on a page, or creating a tree map of a websites architecture, however its best feature is how throughly, quickly and easily it crawls and website.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's not a fancy feature, but I love that there's a very simple output from any crawl that indicates potential issues. The user can click the issue and all the affected URLs are shown. It just gives a quick indication of a website's general SEO health.

What do you dislike most about this product?

it would be useful if there was an online crawling option. Running screaming frog on a big website can really slow my laptop while its running and memory often runs out.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would try the free version, its good enough for a small website and will give a good idea of what you could get by paying for a subscription in future.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
